Financial Press Release

HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 4, 2017--
CDK Global (Nasdaq: CDK), a leading digital marketing solutions
provider, today announced a strategic relationship with CarGurus, a
leading online automotive marketplace. Through this collaboration,
dealers using CDK websites will gain exposure for their inventory on
CarGurus.com as well as high quality leads from CarGurus shoppers. In
addition, CDK will leverage CarGurus’ anonymized, aggregated data in its
suite of automotive digital marketing personalization solutions to
enhance CDK’s ability to create personalized shopping experiences and
cross-site consumer behavior attribution.

This integration allows dealers to have a more comprehensive
understanding of anonymous in-market consumer behavior across the CDK
website eco-system, the CarGurus.com website, and manufacturer, regional
and group websites. Car dealers with CDK websites will now be able to
precisely target personalized content on their own websites to
interested shoppers who previously visited CarGurus – even if they never
looked at a specific car on the dealer’s site.

“We are excited to be able to offer our dealers more leads and more
inventory exposure through CarGurus based on our new integration,”
stated Max Steckler, Product Officer - Consumer Facing Products for CDK
Global. “The CDK Customer Cloud becomes that much more powerful in being
able to deliver more targeted and personalized messaging with the
addition of CarGurus data.”

CarGurus uses proprietary technology and innovative data analytics to
help shoppers search more than 5 million car listings and quickly
identify great deals from top-rated dealers in their local areas.
CarGurus.com now attracts more than 23 million monthly unique visitors
in the US, positioning CDK dealers to reach a significant audience of
in-market shoppers.

“Car shoppers rely on CarGurus for transparency and validation, and we
are excited to be working closely with CDK Global to enhance that
experience,” stated Marty Blue, senior vice president of business
development at CarGurus. “Through our relationship with CDK Global,
we’re able to unleash even more power to assist shoppers and drive
dealers’ business results.”

As an approved participant in the CDK Global Partner Program, CarGurus
reporting will be integrated into the CDK Dealer Command Center. Dealers
can expect the integrated solutions to be available in early October.
